The service may have expected trend guidelines, but other celebrations may have slightly more rebellious dress codes.

Consider the Prince and Princess of Wales’ pre-wedding party, for instance, which saw the princes gather in their countryside dressed to the nines. One of those visitors was Prince William’s niece, who donned a stunning black bodice evening gown to show off her waist. Her invention stiletto heels were partly concealed by a cover neck, an embellished plant on the rope, and a flowing skirt.

At the pre-wedding dinner on April 28, 2011, Princess Eugenie donned a black gown to look beautiful.

Eugenie wore a shiny clutch bag, a huge ring, and a bouncing curls-styled blond hair that matched her Hollywood-glam appearance.

At the pre-wedding dining at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park on April 28, 2011, hosted by the Queen’s aunt Lady Elizabeth Shakerley, she was joined by the Duchess of Edinburgh, the late Queen Elizabeth, and Princess Beatrice.

William and Kate’s marriage preparation

William and Kate, who had to stay the night away from the festivities in preparing for the evening ceremonies, were the two significant customers who were somewhat absent.

Kate spent the night at the five-star Goring Hotel in the Royal Apartment, which boasted a four-poster base, a grand music and a walk-in bath following a £150, 000 renovation.

However, claimed in his guide Spare that the man turned to alcohol to calm his nerves. As they greeted members of the crowd who had gathered on the Mall to get a front row seat view of the marriage, his brother allegedly wore “tipsy.”

“Willy, rum-warmed,” shouted: ‘We should go and see them!’ He informed his safety team that he wanted to do so via text.

The protection team answered: ‘Highly advise against.’

“‘No, he shot up. It’s the right thing to do. I want to go out there. I need to discover them!’ He asked me to come. He begged. He clearly indicated to me that the rum was actually hitting difficult. He needed a wingman”, Harry penned.

After the pair tied the knot at Westminster Abbey, the late Queen Elizabeth II hosted a noon reception at Buckingham Palace for 650 customers.

The bride chose to wear two Alexander McQueen wedding dresses, the first of which had a sleeveless satin amount with an studded belt and a corsetted dress with a whole skirt and large lace sleeves.

In Eugenie’s situation, she went for a crimson flowing gown with off-the-shoulder straps and skinny stilettos instead of her vivid blue Vivienne Westwood dress and feathery Philip Treacy fascinator, which proved to be a questionable choice among fans.
